Oh what a night!!! The Research Society celebrated the Australian research; insights, CX, UX & data analytics industry last Thursday 6 May with two simultaneous events held in Melbourne and Sydney.
With a live stream between the two events, the industry was entertained by the fabulous Kieran Flanagan, who hosted the awards ceremony from Melbourne, and Research Society President, Tiina Raikko presenting awards from Sydney.
